PLAYMOBIL Furnished School Building

I was thrilled when Playmobil asked me to review this toy. My very favorite part:  They included a wheelchair with this Playmobil Furnished School Building.  As a parent of a special needs child this means so much to me.  It means inclusion for those who might be differently abled.  The children playing with this set will see and play with it.

Classes are in session at the Furnished School Building. Upon arriving, students can ind storage for all their school supplies in the downstairs lockers, before heading to their first class of the day. Then, with the help of the functioning digital clock with school bell, students can make sure they get to class on time.  Those unable to take the stairs can use the functioning elevator to get to classes on the second floor.  The elevator, along with the access ramp and larger bathroom stalls, make this school wheelchair friendly.  The downstairs room is a fully-equipped biology classroom with a skeleton model, bio charts, and encased spider for studying.  Upstairs, students will find a computer lab and teacher’s office. Combine this set with the rest of the PLAYMOBIL School theme (#9453-9457 – sold separately), for even more fun.  Set includes three adult figures, six child figures, functioning clock with school bell, desks, backpacks, bicycles, laptops, chairs, classroom charts, books, skeleton, wheelchair, toilets, sinks, and tons of other accessories.

Your children will have hours of fun with all they can do with this set.  It is so realistic of school buildings.  The clock is phenomenal and the biology classroom is fully equipped..  This is one of my favorite sets from Playmobil.

The set retails for $129.99 and can be found at most retailers that sell toys.

Five Reasons to Buy a Dodge Ram

Five Reasons to Buy a Dodge Ram

The Dodge Ram brand is all about power, strength, quality and style. Since 1981 the Ram truck name has been in the marketplace, and today the traditions of the marque remain strong even as it has evolved and adapted to the changing marketplace. Here we have compiled the five best reasons for you to buy a Ram in 2019. If you’re considering a new truck, this article is for you.

 

First, the 2019 Ram models are the sum of almost 40 years of innovation

The first generation of Ram trucks arrived in 1981. Since then, they’ve gained more power, better fuel economy, fresh new designs with each generation, and a continued commitment to quality and substance. In short, it’s one of the markets biggest mainstays for good reason.

Second, the latest Ram 1500 trucks are bigger and better, but also easier to drive

Panoramic sunroof, 22-inch wheels, more interior comfort and storage. The creators of the vehicle managed to boost all elements of the vehicle while actually reducing its overall weight by 225 pounds. It’s also a surprisingly quiet ride and loaded with technology. This is no farm machine, it’s a rival for any of the high tech “city-mobiles”

Third, they now boast better fuel economy

When people see great big American trucks, the idea of “fuel economy” is often the furthest thing from their minds. Ram trucks were usually manual transmissions, but the newer editions come with an 8-speed transmission that finally boosts gas mileage. You can get 20mpg in the city and 26 on the highway.

Fourth, choice in trims/models

The 2019 Ram 1500 comes in six different models --- the Tradesman, Longhorn, Limited, Big Horn, Rebel, and Laramie. This dispels the other myth that these trucks are monolithic and narrow in their uses. Choose the style that fits you best, leaning either more toward strength and utility, or a bit more toward comfort. Alternatively, you can have a happy marriage of both.

Fifth, the tech-head’s dream

What’s the first thing you see when you look inside a Ram truck? It’s probably the enormous 12-inch touchscreen in the center of the dash. This also provides a split-screen function where you can run two applications simultaneously. You can have navigation running on top and the controls for the radio underneath. That’s less hassle when you want to change settings. The screen’s functions also work when you’re wearing gloves. Other features include wireless phone charging, 360-degree camera system and much more.

You may never have thought the Ram was the vehicle for you, but now you’ll have to think differently. Visit your nearest dealership and learn more about this amazing truck.

How to Better Manage Your Autumn School Run

How to Better Manage Your Autumn School Run

 

The kids are back at school and that means the Monday to Friday school run operations are also back in full swing. The long summer break may have put you a bit our of sync and you might now be struggling to get back into school mode. Lucky for you, we’ve prepared a handy guide for you that will help you navigate your way back to your old position of school run supremo.

1. Keep Calm and Carry On

This London wartime mantra holds true for many family situations even in the modern setting. The chaotic morning routine before successfully getting all the kids into the car without forgetting anything is an Olympian undertaking, but it requires composure and calmness first and foremost. So, take a deep breath, close your eyes and visualize the plans and steps you need to take clearly in your mind before you begin.

2. Make Detailed Plans

Some might say that making a plan is the first step towards disappointing yourself when one step goes wrong, but we disagree. The routine you’re managing is essentially the same each day, so if you plan ahead, you can be ready for anything, including contingencies for when things go wrong.

l  Checklist for the kids’ school bags

l  Car warmed up on the driveway a few minutes before departure

l  Emergency snacks and supplies pre-loaded into the car

l  A spare outfit for each child stored in the car

l  Gym clothes or other sporting equipment pre-loaded so it’s “forget-proof”

3. Empty the car’s trash daily

Keeping the car clean and organized will help you keep your thoughts organized. There’s nothing like a clean dash, organized glove compartment and trash-free floors to help keep your mind in order, too. Keep a roll of trash bags in the car and get everyone to pick up and dump the trash in the bag when they get home. This way, each morning starts neat and tidy.

4. Plan multiple routes

Of course you don’t need to use satellite navigation to get to school, because you’ve always known the way to get there, right? Well, you might know one way to get there, but do you know all the ways? Always plan at least three possible routes to your kids’ schools just in case weather or roadworks mean you have to switch things up to get there on time. Check local traffic reports before you set out and adjust your route accordingly. You can even coordinate traffic intelligence with other parents in your circle!

5. Work out parking ahead of time (again, with alternatives)

Once you’re there, you may not be able to simply drop off and drive off. You may have to walk young children up to the gate or even into the school. If that’s the case, you’ll need a handy place to park. Urban schools don’t always come with off-street parking, and you may get a ticket if you end up in the wrong place. Scout ahead, and work out two or three possibilities for parking as you drop off your kids at school.

Follow this guide and mitigate the inevitable chaos and stress caused by the daily school run.
